Madeline,

Has nobody responded to this? Let me add my two thumbs up for this request. Would be extremely useful.

Of course Airtable would have to know where to send the email. So there’d have to be a field named ‘Email’ in the form (or else there’d have to be an additional field at the end of the form, near the submit button). But that seems like a solvable problem.

If there’s a way to do this with Zapier, I’d love to hear it.

+1 I think this should be a no-brainer. Every other form has this feature.

This would be very straightforward to do in Zapier - as long as the user is required to enter an email.

Simply create a Zap triggered by a new record in the table and then use an email action to send the email with whatever information you need to send back to the person who input the record.

@Julian_Kirkness, I tried to find a Zap that could do this. Please advise.

Hi Harald

This is how you would set this up:

First here’s a form we would use to capture the data (say a support request):

This results in a new record in the table:

Now we have a record, we can begin to set up the Zap (a free Zapier account will do for this) - set the trigger app to New Record (for Airtable):

Having done that (and tested it so the results are there for the next step) you can create a Zapier Action to send the email (I’m using the standard Zapier email option here but you could send via Office 365, Gmail etc):

If you test this step you should receive the email assuming you created a record with your own email address.

I hope this helps!

Our team was very surprised to find that this feature did not come standard. We would like to manage all of our web forms on one platform and having this feature will greatly affect our likelihood of continue using Airtable.

I need to set up an automatic email that is sent to people after they submitted my airtable form. I don’t want emails sent to anyone after I manually import records. Does anyone know how to help me with this?

I wonder if there is any progress by the Airtable team,

I still cannot believe there is no such function with Airtable as standard, while Google form has it…

Looking forward to hearing update…

All that is needed is another option at the bottom of the form to allow copies of it to be sent to XYZ email address/es, separated by commas.

I need the form emailed out immediately - don’t want to wait for Zapier to pick it up as being completed.

I tried to use the Zapier method, but because Microsoft 365 is used across our institution, it keeps expiring the login so I’m not able to use it.

This is a standard feature in any request form and I would like to make sure that it’s there for our users.

I just tried this painfully for over an hour, and was able to automate an email triggered by a new record, but cannot get that email to display a copy of the person’s entry. I am very surprised to find this so difficult!

I am a new Airtable user. I really enjoy the program and all the functions. However, I just discovered (after creating and testing many forms) that the ‘Sent copy of completed form to sender’ option doesn’t exist. The first person flagged this more than 3 years ago. Airtable developers, it would be great if you could create such option? Many thanks!

Hi - Another request on this very standard tool. We want to scale up but without this functionality we will need to explore other options in the long-term. If a client fills out a form we want them to have a record. When is this a priority? When someone has moved to another platform? okayyyy.

Seconded. As enterprise users we would like to see this feature added. G-Suite has this as a standard out-of-the box feature. Should exist here, too.

Adding to this. This is a no brainer…

Why does this not exist yet? :face_with_monocle:

Hey, now you can use Airtable automations feature to achieve this!

How? Is there an video on Youtube that allows this?

When you use Automations for this, you can combine it with this extension to send the data in a form-like style. Also, it has an optional feature that allows the recipient to update their answer.

My organization tried adding the miniExtensions app posted here for this feature, only to find it’s a subscription-based app that costs around $500 a year.

Airtable - please listen to this forum and add this as a free feature!

Very nice. Exactly what we needed. :thumbs_up:

Welcome to the Airtable Community!

We are always happy to see a member of the Airtable staff post here. We are also curious about your role at Airtable. Would you mind posting an introduction?

Thank you.

Hello kuvonne!

Thank you so much! I am a new member of the Customer Support Advocates team here at Airtable. You might meet me in one of your tickets to the support department. I still have a long way to go in learning the product, this is why I sometimes check the community forums and try to learn from other more experienced members. I love helping people and I love the collaborative nature of Airtable.

What’s your favorite Airtable feature, @kuovonne ?

Thank you for the intro. It helps the rest of us better understand the context of your posts.

My favorite Airtable feature is scripting. I love writing scripts and I am happy that everyone gets unlimited scripts forever.
